And Britain declined in the 1940s. Every empire has a height and a decline and a low point...
France? Their navy had a few points where it competed with Britain's (such as, fortuitously for us, in 1783...), but it always faded back afterwards because Britain's was just better.
Spain and Austria we're just repeating ourselves... but I'll say more later anyway. :)
